Depends on what u r shooting. If studio isn't sound lined might be
echoes and reflections. Any studio stuff I have worked with lav mics
worked most predictably when mounted on air talent correctly. If it
is music or individual guitarist type thing then broader room ambience
might be obtained better with shotgun types. If mic pattern is too
narrow, moving camera might give you unexpected fades.
overhead fans, blowers and air conditioners as well as noisy ballasts
from lighting temp studios might be something to look out for as well
as sound through windows. Glass almost like an open window for sound.
